During a drought, a mother elephant must leave her young calf to "climb the highest mountain to ask the skies for rain." Little One naturally resists the separation, while Mama offers reassuring advice. A familiar tale is made unique through its African setting, warm mixed-media illustrations, and lyrical text that highlights the tender relationship between mother and child.
